Question for Ms. Shabby Chic BART HERX

I read an old post of yours that said that you had period like cramps from Bart. Could you elaborate???I restarted Houtuyunia tea a few days ago and holy cow. I feel terrible today. Period like cramps that are SO BAD it feels like I can barely move. It is similar to what I felt like on Bactrim so I think it is a herx. How the heck do you get toxins out of your lady parts and kidneys.

Someone here!

 

I have Bart and I had these (it's been better the last weeks) - it feels like really bad PMS cramps, or like a really painful ovulation. But it doesn't happen on those particular moments of my cycle.

 

I have no idea what to do about it... I've been thinking it might have been my bladder. A heating pad would sometimes help. When it's really bad I can't stand up...

 

I can just relate, not help you, sorry...

First I was on Azythromycin / Levaquin / Monocyclin - then on Tetralysal / Rifampicin and then on Azythromycin / Tetralysal - I'm curious about the next combination...

I couldn't see a pattern between the abx and the pain... it would just come and go. Or my brain couldn't catch a pattern, that's a probable possibility too .

Herx? bladder-related? side effect of abx? That particular pain is less since I'm on my 6 week abx break... (didn't see that pattern until now) 

Mine lasted all last night

I can say that it hasn't got anything to do with my bowels/intestines - I had/have a lot of those cramps for so many years, so I know that sort of pain very well...

Excuse me, maybe TMI, but well, if we can talk about poop and enema's and so on, why not: even my anus hurts really bad when I have those cramps, like the muscles around it, not the intestine itself. Sorry guys... I feel a bit embarassed to talk about it... The cramping can last for a while, but when peaking it affects that area also - really painful... There's like a general cramp that lasts, but with 'waves' of really very intense pain.

I've had that happen too, Marie. It's very unpleasant!!!

What I was referring to though wasn't intestinal cramps, as I get those all the time as well. It's quite literally the floor of the abdominal cavity - or maybe it's the pelvic floor - ugh!! I hate being so tired!!!! Grrrr.

Anyway, I had one last night -well one series of them - while I was trying to cook dinner & I almost burned dinner!!! LOL!! Somehow the pain seemed more important to deal with than the food on the stove!!! Giggle!

Well, whether I experience the same thing or not (I'm not talking about intestinal cramps either), I can certainly agree with you that it's a breathtaking event!!!
